facebook, instagram and twitter. justice with judge jeanine is next and remember i'm cat terse, and this is my -- i'm watters, and d d d d d d d d this is my . ♪ judge: hello and welcome to justice, i'm judge jeanine pirro. thanks so much for being with us tonight and thanks for keeping our streak going and making last week's show number one all weekend long, all day saturday, saturday night, sunday night. i am so grateful. thank you to all my viewers. tonight we've got house minority leader kevin mccarthy, congressman matt gaetz, former nypd commissioner and more. and later, i take you inside the new york white house, aka, trump tower, for an exclusive sit-down with erik and lara trump and a first-ever exclusive look on television at newborn daughter carolina trump. but first, my open. ♪

♪ >> it was everything we said it was and everything they said it was not. we now have confirmation, corroboration that the deep state exists, that it worked to spy on and frame a presidential candidate and plant the seed for his overthrow in the ugliest, most corrupt attempted political coup in u.s. history. that it occurred at all, is stunning. but that it was manipulated to take down a president and remove him from office almost as soon as we put him there, essentially overthrowing a government, is an outrage that demands the most severe consequence our criminal justice system has to offer. now, you put this together with the russia collusion, and nancy this week saying -- >> off for 22 months, ago? but it's been four and a half years. >> that's right, nancy, and you

still haven't come up with a reason to impeach him. but you radicals are all in on getting rid of trump, and since you can't find anything real, you make stuff up at a whack-a-mole speed. so the inspector general decides the opening of the investigation into whether individuals associated with the trump campaign were coordinating with the russians dubbed crossfire hurricane was legitimate and commenced without bias. but almost immediately attorney general william bar and united states -- barr and united states attorney john durham begged to differ saying, quote: we do not agree with the inspector general report conclusion as to predication in how the case was opened. the comey fbi counterintelligence division believes they can investigate anyone based on what someone heard in a bar and then run with it. but these guys, they didn't just run with it, they took every left turn and ran every red

light in their effort to get their man. and although the warrant was to surveil american citizen carter page, in truth page was nothing more than the window through which to view and investigate donald trump. thereafter every one of the 17 errors that the inspector general identified was indicative of the desire to get donald trump to continue spying and wiretapping. that's right, i said it, spy. the i.g. confirmed confidential human sources, chs, were used. notice i used the plural. there was more than one spy, and we are not just talking about wiretapping now for which we now know there was no basis, no basis because the dossier -- paid for by hillary clinton with money laundered through the law firm fusion gps, written by a

foreign agent, christopher steele, based on sourcing by an individual who told the fbi on three separate occasions it was exaggeration, it was hyperbole, he never expected it to be printed. but when we talk about human sources, we're talking about spies who are actually walking among the trump campaign and recording in that campaign including a high-level official in the trump campaign. so if the premise of the investigation was that the russians may be infiltrating the trump campaign, why not tell the american presidential candidate? hell, the same fbi told dianne feinstein they believed the chinese were infiltrating her ranks, but they don't alert a presidential candidate? my, my. could it be as simple as the fbi treats republicans as the enemy

and the democrats as part of the home team? and even more sinister is that the target, ladies and gentlemen, really wasn't the campaign. the target was donald trump himself. carter page was not the man they were interested in. he was the vehicle through which they could watch and listen, or so they thought. now, the i.g. admits there were significant inaccuracies and omissions and that agents failed to meet their basic obligations. he made clear, the i'm sorry g., that every -- the i.g., that every step of this operation was briefed up to the highest level of the fbi. that'd be comey. they found there were, quote, so many basic and fundamental errors made by three separate hand-picked teams on one of the most sensitive fbi investigations, there was a failure of not only the operational team, but the managers, the supervisors and

the senior officials in the chain of command. so what do you think the chances of that are? do you really think that there is no bias when everyone on three different experienced teams, all supposedly smart, all make the same mistakes, all against donald trump? a primer. every fbi agent is smart. they are trained. every one of these agents had years of law school training, courtroom experience. the chances of every one of those getting every one of the 17 mistakes wrong that were in their favor against donald trump is slim to none. and it ends up in a four-letter word. bias. and although cardinal jim comey says i feel vindicated, the truth is that even dull, dry horowitz makes the truth clear.

>> you know, i think the activities we found here don't vindicate anybody who touched this. >> okay. >> so donald trump was right from the beginning. he said they were spying on him and wiretapping him, and they made fun of him, and they ridiculed and condemned him and belittled him. and although his law enforcement terminology may not have been on point, he was right. wasn't he? and every one of the 17 errors identified by the i.g. going against the president and in favor of the radical leftist idealogues indicate no conclusion other than bias. strzok and page are the premier examples. quote: he's an f-ing idiot. quote: he's never going to become president. no, we'll stop it. and so they created their insurance policy just in case he actually got in.

and after he won they texted each other, i figure i need to brush up on watergate. no bias? the only reason there's no bias is because no one admitted to bias! it's about documentary evidence of bias. but it's now up to the united states attorney to draw a conclusion as to whether or not the 17 separate errors, the violation of fbi regulations, the stunning irregularities, the failure to identify wrongdoing in their own ranks amounts to bias and even worse. jim comey actually lied, what a shock, and said to our own bret baier that the dossier was but one piece of the mosaic of evidence presented to the fisa court. bologna. when we now know that it was the only piece. they knew it was written by trump-hating christopher steele, paid for by trump-hating hillary

clinton, actually denied by the source who allegedly gave steele the fraudulent information in the first place! now, andrew mccabe -- the other hater who put the team together -- was a clintonite who got money from the foundation for his wife's senate campaign. he's been referred for criminal prosecution himself, separate and apart from this. jim comey was the united states attorney in the southern district investigating the clinton foundation that ended with nothing. shock. the bottom line is the violation of fbi regulation, the stunning irregularities, the failure to identify wrongdoing in their own ranks is a textbook example of illegality. you have to be pretty damn coordinated, smart, conspiratorial and razor precise for absolutely everyone to be on that same illegal page. they were willing to lie and cheat in a way that america has

never witnessed before. it was an all-out effort by what was once the most esteemed law enforcement agency in our country to take down the man 63 million americans put in the oval office. why? because they think they know better than we do. because in their sanctimonious, condescending world we know nothing. their arrogance is only surpassed by their ignorance. they thought they could get away with it. they have not and they will not. history will not look kindly on cardinal james comey who has now surpassed j. edgar hoover as the most corrupt director of the federal bureau of investigation in history. and might i add, no one deserves it more. and that's my open. let me know what you think on my

facebook and twitter, hashtag judge jeanine. and here now with reaction to my open and all the latest developments in this impeachment battle, house minority leader kevin mccarthy. congressman, thanks so much for being here tonight. young, congressman, there's so much to go through, but i just want to hit a couple of points. it came out of judiciary, the recommendation, two articles of impeachment, totally along partisan party lines, and it's going to the full house, these two articles, next week. so what we've got now is the $64,000 question, of 31 congressmen and women in the trump-leaning districts who may suffer a penalty if they go along those partisan party lines and, you know, i don't know if you can see them all, but it's everyone that i'm sure you already know. how much danger are they in they go through with this? >> i think there's quite a few, and i don't think it's just the 31 who are currently in

districts that president trump carries. i take it out to about 55. >> really? >> even "the washington post" wrote the only bipartisan vote here would be no. they're afraid more democrats are going to leave them. they never thought this. remember what speaker pelosi said back in march, that impeachment was so divisive to this nation, it has to be overwhelming, compelling and bipartisan to move forward. she laid out three requirements. they did not meet one of them, but they're still moving forward. their trying to create the new norm. and your opening was fantastic. the only thing i would add to that, i would have added adam schiff to it. remember what he wrote in his fisa report? this was as much denouncing that and the lies in there as it was comey. and remember what nancy pelosi that you put at the very beginning. she has worked two and a half years to impeach p this president, long before any foreign phone calls. and remember, you had nadler who was the committee about impeachment. he campaigned to win the

chairmanship paced on that -- based upon that he would be the best chairman for impeachment. congresswoman talib, remember what she said? she said she was going to impeach the mother -- >> that's right. you know, it's absolutely amazing. and yet you've got someone like nadler standing up and saying it's a sad day. they're all so -- they're covered in solemnity. they're high-fiving each other in the background. but i want to focus on one guy who's gotten a lot of attention in the last few days, and that is congressman jeff van drew from new jersey. now, there's talk that he may not only not vote for impeachment, but that he may come to other side of the aisle. that'd be your side, congressman. >> well, it's true. he voted against the inquiry, and he's also said he's going to vote against impeachment because he does not believe it rises to that occasion. now, the one thing i would say,

only jeff can make that decision, is he going to leave the democratic party, but anyone who believes in freedom, in the constitution and anyone who believes this new socialist democrat party has left them, i want to tell jeff van due that he is el -- van drew that he is welcome in the republican party. we would support him, and we would welcome him to join. and any of your viewers who are independents or democrats who are frustrated with what's happening, they are welcome to join us just as ronald reagan left the democratic party and joined the republican party. >> so the democratic congressman from new jersey not only not voting for impeachment, but considering voting to the republican side. have you actually had conversations with him about this, congressman? >> i've had a lot of talks with him, and whatever decision he makes, i'll let him make that announcement. >> all right. but there certainly is a welcome from you and the republican party, which speaks volumes.

>> he is very welcome to join us just as others have before when the party has left them. remember what he stood for, he believes in those requirements as well. >> let we ask you, you have raised -- as i understand it -- close to $50 million for your re-election campaign. you are, is that -- that is some historic figure, i understand. >> well, i am the minority leader, but it's more money than any republican has ever raised as speaker and others. and it's not only just for my campaign, but for the nrcc. that's a real indication when you talk about these 31 democratic members. it only takes 19 members of elections to make the republicans in the majority. it's a real sign out there across this country that they want to see a change. even cnn says that the intensity level is on the republican side if you watch these rallies from the president, these new members, these new voters coming out. >> i have 15 seconds.

if van drew comes over to your side, then this there's only 18. are republicans have a chance to retake the house? >> yes, we do. 18 is a smaller number than the democrats needed to win last time. democrats needed a much higher number. not only could we win the majority, because if the democrats keep the majority, think of this, they promise to keep impeaching the president. >> that's right. >> that'll become the new norm. if you want to see a real change in this country, actually do something, instead of having a record of issuing more subpoenas than creating laws, do not allow them to maintain the majority. and if congressman switches, there'll only be 18, and that's not a big hill to climb when you have 55 other seats out there -- >> and a president like donald trump. all right. house minority leader kevin north carolina car think, always love -- mccarthy, always love having you on. thank you so much. >> thanks, judge. >> all right. my next guest was on the hill fighting for the president, congressman matt gaetz joins me

now. congressman, look, as i said, you have been in there pulling no punches. but i want to ask you a question that i don't think you've been asked. for the last several weeks, and maybe the last month -- however long it's been -- what was the most ridiculous thing that you saw play out among the democrats in this impeachment, you know, this nonstop impeachment effort on their part? >> i think the democrats' unwillingness to simply represent the facts accurately has been the biggest disappointment. you'll remember some weeks ago adam schiff literally created a theatrical performance of the president's transcript, and it was really bizarre to the country. and then even this week as we were having hearings there are two democrats who misquoted the president when they were talking about the transcript. when the president has always been acting in our nation's interest. and i think we've proved that effectively by showing that he said do us a favor, though our country has been through a lot. when he's talking about doing us

a favor, he means our nation. and then he immediately says that we've been through a lot and that we deserve cooperation from an ally like the ukraine to make sure that there's not the type of deep-seeded corruption that would negatively impact our country. i'm grateful our president was doing that. >> that's a good point. i don't think there was anything more absurd than i don't know who it was, that professor no won't walk on the same side of the street as trump hotel in washington where she said, well, that's the king saying i instead of we. the king's we. it was lunacy. but, i mean, going forward, do you expect, obviously, next week that the house is going to vote to impeach? >> i do. but we continue to see the impeachment movement losing steam. it's losing steam in the polls, in the votes in the democratic caucus, and now you literally see democrat members jumping ship and leaving the party altogether -- >> jeff van drew finish. >> because, you know, the impeachment strategy is the

all-in strategy for democrats. so rather than working we are palins to try -- republicans to try to advance an america first agenda, democrats are wholly obsessed with delegitimizing the president. and if that i.g. report was in any way vindicating of jim comey, then the bible vindicated judas. because you saw -- [laughter] over and over again the work of jim comey criticized and the bias reflected. really, look, these aren't just small mistakes that were made, this is the alteration of evidence. this is committing a fraud before the court. if officers of the court behaved the way james comey did in your court, judge, you'd hold them in contempt -- >> yeah. they'd be on the bus to bell hallow. but one of the things that i don't think people understand is that horowitz's job was to get the facts. and not necessarily to draw a conclusion. and so this was no, there was -- nobody came out and said, yes, i hate donald trump.

and he drew the conclusion that because strzok and page were just two people out of the whole group of them who admitted hating donald trump, that that couldn't possibly be the reason of all of them. it was kind of crazy, but that's finish. >> well, the inspector general's report is one piece of the puzzle. of course, the crescendo will come when we get the final criminal determination from mr. durham, and he has far broader authority. we all know how this story goes. there was the insurance policy before he was elected, after he was elected, it's pursuing impeachment. >> gotta take it back. thank you so much for being with us, congressman gaetz, i appreciate it. and your exclusive trip inside trump tower still ahead tonight. but next, a favorite, dan bongino, as we look ahead to possible trial in the senate. i visualize travel rewards. i receive travel rewards. going new places!

>> president trump greeted with chd a crazy week in washington filled with impeachment drama. fox news contributor, author of "champion -- exonerated, dan bongino joins me now. good evening, dan. you know, it's been a crazy week. i don't have to tell you, it was nice seeing the president cheered. but, of course, it's military, army/navy. and he did a rally in hershey, pennsylvania. he's entertaining all the time at the white house. the man is just unbelievable in terms of his energy. i mean, people just can't get over it, including me, and i know him. but let's talk about what he's been through this week. i mean, you've got judiciary voted on party lines to impeach

him. it's going to the full house next week. he's going to be impeached with these two ridiculous articles, and yet he continues to fight for us and continues to work for, you know, toward re-election. with more enthusiasm than i've ever seen. >> you know, judge with, i'd argue that, yes, this week was a huge success for the president, but the past month has been. the democrats can't look any worse. imagine a bright diamond on a black background. the foil effect here, the president overseas in london getting more money for the support of nato. comes back, nails down some parameters of usmca, nails down the parameters of phase one of a china deal. we had economic growth numbers, 266,000 jobs, off the charts. blew out expectations. and what is it -- i mean, listen, i'm not in the predictions game anymore, i'm trying to stay out of it, but what is the public scene the democrats are doing? having basically this big, nonsensical hearing talking about a deal that never happened

that they can't explain to anyone. something the democrats can't explain, that's the problem, it's that there's nothing to explain. it never happened. and that's why this is just a disaster for them -- >> but, dan, it's what they do. they did it with the russia collusion delusion, you know? they do it, and, you know, i -- it's still hard to buy maxine waters, you know, impeach 45. it's right at the get go. i'm like, what did he do? what is she talking about? but that has been their agenda. we had congressman mccarthy talking jeff van drew switching sides and only 18 more in the house. you know, i can see the republicans retaking the house, i really can. americans are fed up with this nonsense. >> yeah, i think they overestimated the results of the midterm elections. but remember, the midterm elections -- listen, let's not put lipstick on it, they weren't great for republicans, but it wasn't some colossal, epic tragedy. they held the house -- i mean, excuse me, the senate.

it wasn't some historical loss, and i think they overestimated that. every first-term president loses seats in the house -- >> well, of course they do. >> i think they overestimated it, and that's why they jumped on this. but the i.g. report, you would have thought they would have been in self-correct mode, but they double and triple down. it's the worst example of political suicide in modern times. >> but they're not stupid. they know they have to get reelected -- >> i debite that. >> you know -- >> i don't know, judge. >> go ahead. >> listen, i get it, i was with you a few years ago that i don't agree with the democrats, but they're not tactically stupid. i don't know. i think the aoc wing of the party has pulled them into this stupid phantom zone. and i mean stupid tactically. i don't mean like intelligence quotient iq. i just think aoc and this group has them believing that america's a far-left country. it's just not true.

i mean, i don't know where they got this from, but it's totally accurate. if they -- inaccurate. can you imagine if the president takes the states he took last time and adds new mexico and minnesota in the mix? again, i'm not in the predictions game, but that would be a slap in the face politically like we haven't seen in decades. >> i'll tell you, it would be -- you know what? if it did happen, it would mean perfect sense, and it would mean that the american people are actually listening to. this i think sometimes they tune some of it out, but this is so outrageous, they can't. anyway, dan bonn screen know -- bonn bongino, thanks so much for being with us tonight. >> thanks, judge. >> want to take a trip with me? well, get ready. next, i'm taking you to trump tower. you'll meet eric, lara, their son luke and get your first exclusive look at new baby carolina. we'll also talk some politics. it's all next and you don't want (male announcer) check out bass pro shops and cabela's for great gifts,

jeanine. judge: welcome back to justice. finish this week amid all the impeachment hysteria, i headed over to trump tower to meet up with eric and lara trump and their family. eric and i sat down first to talk about the impeachment battle and much more. take a look. eric, so here we are surrounded by christmas trees and lights and santas in the background. all these wonderful people here at trump tower. say hello, we're on air. [cheers and applause] >> hi, guys. judge: and that's just from being here about three minutes. >> that's right. judge: no matter where they go. in a minute, we're going to see your family, but i want to talk business first. you know, it's been kind of a crazy couple of weeks. you fully expect that they're going to vote for impeachment, i believe. >> sure, i do. they know they can't beat my father, right? just that simple.

their candidates are bad, their message is bad. they failed with russia, they failed with kavanaugh, they're failing with this whole ukraine hoax. every single day the word changes, right? first day it was obstruction, then bribery, and then they're going after various states and polling which word, you know, resonates best with voters. that's how desperate these people are. they can't win. they can't believe that an outsider went to washington, won, beat all of them. they've all had these positions for lots and lots of years, they've all been in the swamp way too long, and a guy comes out of total left field and beats them at their own job and has done a phenomenal job, more than he ever said he would do. has the greatest economy, the lowest unemployment if, and they can't stand the fact that his message won the day over one of their own. and they were mad and they're lashing out. they don't have a candidate who can beat him, so they come up with these, you know, it's their hail mary, janine. judge: but the frustrating part of it is they continue with this

continuing assault on your salt. >> report in.. -- that's right. judge: there isn't anything they can say to american people. now, these are smart people, eric. i mean, they ran for office, they get what it takes to win. they've got to have a message other than i hate donald trump. >> yeah. judge: how do they sell themselves going forward? >> their message is everything that he's not, right? and it doesn't work. it doesn't work because this country's doing too well. americans are really, really smart, and they're not buying it. and there's so many times, only so many times you can cry wolf. and i'm telling you, this is helping -- we're seeing it in the swing states. this is helping us. judge: let's talk about fisa now. so the inspector general's report comes out, and something that has never happened before, the attorney general of the united states takes issue with the inspector general's report. and before we even get to the attorney general, let's talk about the inspector general. so he finds that there are at

least 17 abnormalities or things that aren't normal. and yet everything that is, that occurs is against your father and in favor of them to do what they want to do, have the insurance policy. and yet the inspector general can't come out and say we found bias or we found evidence of a motive. what do you think's going on? >> you know, but he did say we will never allow this to happen again and we can't ever allow it to happen again. and what happened was totally unprecedented, and it was wrong and awful. and the question i still have that no one's asked -- in fact, you're the only person asking it -- what about the fisa judge? where is that person? if i was a judge and i was lied to and i wasn't presented all the evidence and i wasn't presented all the facts and i signed off on something thinking i knew the whole story and i didn't? i would be livid, and i would be breaking down the walls to find out who did that and to hold those people responsible. the fisa judge was either lied to or something else. i don't want to suggest -- >> i'll say it, incompetent. when you sign a warrant, you

read a all of the evidence. because the act of wiretapping or the act of surveilling requires that you take away someone's constitutional rights. finish in -- in order to reach t incredibly high barrier, you better be sure the facts are with you. he was either incompetent, i'll say it, or in cahoots with them. >> they wanted to take him down. they wanted one of their own to win. they weaponized the legal system and the justice system existence my father, and you know what the great thing about my family is? we've got backbone and spine. >> there's another piece to it, eric, and i'm sure you get asked about it all the time as well. now that we know what the facts are, now that we know that jim comey told your father that the dossier -- it's not a dossier, it's just a lying sack of lies, okay? it was presented to the court as a basis for a warrant, okay? he tells your father it's not verified, but he goes to the court and says it's verified.

then comey comes out and he says, we've been vindicated. no, you haven't. and this is where the american people want to know, when is there justice? now that we've got the facts, who's going to be made accountable? >> yeah. jim judge who do we wait for, barr? >> if you line it up, the things they said in there are nothing short of absolute slander of a person. if that was said about any private individual, right, that person would own the people who said that about them. it was disgusting, the lies that were made up. there were a lot of really r-rated things in there that were said that were totally untrue. they were trying to take a person down who is running for the highest office in the land because they wanted within of their -- one of their political cronies to win. and it's disgust, and it was paid for by hillary clinton and the dnc, and the fisa courts. honestly, again i say that judge should come forward, and that judge should be breaking through the walls to find out why that

person was either lied to or, quite frankly, the chief justice of the united states should find out what the hell happened there, because it's not right. jim jublg you know, the cost is even more than that. it's even more than that. it's the tension. it's what they've said. it's how theydivided the nation. they fractured the nation from the time they said your father was a russian asset. and i come to -- i come full circle. accountability. finish. >> yep. jim jublg and that's what people want. and let's hope that we see it. with barr and durham. what do you think? >> i hope we will. the facts have to be fully disclosed, and this can never, ever, ever happen again. judge: and that's not all. next, lara trump joins the conversation, and we get to meet the next generation of america's first family, including a first-ever look at the president's granddaughter. don't go away. ♪

♪ finish♪ >> in the next part of my sit-down with eric trump, senior adviser for president trump's 2020 re-election campaign, lara trump joins us. we also had some christmas fun with some other members of the first family including an exclusive look at their newest addition. she's like the mother of all mothers. i love your wife -- >> she's incredible. she does maring thans, triathlons -- >> i know she does, look at her. >> she works, there's no one who spends more time on fox news -- >> tired of me already.

[laughter] >> that's a trump, obviously,

right? grandpa trump and uncle don. and father eric, that's where she gets the calm. judge: she's so calm. >> thank you. we're very lucky. because as most moms and dads of 2-year-olds know, they're very needy. and so when you have a second one, it's great when they're relaxed and calm like this. judge: she is relaxed and calm. so for the hold cay, you know, eric and i were talking about what's going on with impeachment and the fisa and all that. will you guys be able to just forget about all of it and really enjoy the fact that you really are part of the first family? you are the first family? i mean, you've done wonderful things for this country. we now don't have the political correctness that we used to, and people are actually saying merry christmas -- >> you can say merry christmas again. isn't that so nice? >> i love it. i love christmas trees, i love santa over here. i mean, you know, how do you feel that your father has done all of that, eric? it's incredible. it is nice to say merry christmas again and celebrate

and brutally murdered right near her school. she had been in a park, morningside park, which is a few blocks from columbia. is that a dangerous area? i mean, was it dangerous when you were police commissioner? >> well, when i was police commissioner, crime was, you know, we had achieved the lowest records probably in the last are four decades. crime has spiked there according to reports. this were other robberies that with we now know about -- judge: right. >> -- in that area, the same types of robberies. this was 5:30 in the afternoon, judge. where was the security guards? where were the people out there that are supposed to be in that area? judge: but would there be a security guard from the college in morningside park? apparently, you had to go down steps to go into morningside, so would -- you know, apparently, she unfortunately, i mean, she -- fortunately, was able to make it up. she apparently had been stabbed in the face, neck and urn her arm which, obviously, is

defensive. but now they're talking about three people, one 13-year-old charged with murder. as a juvenile so far. a second has been released because they don't have enough to arrest him, and the third they're looking for. but what -- that area, all of a sudden it's dangerous now? >> well, listen, things have changed in the city. and although crime down, historically crime is down, crime is spiking. kids like this, they're being emboldened by the city council members, by the mayor who have villainized the police, you know? the culture, the culture of policing has changed. we've taken the enforcement out of law enforcement. we're not aggressively policing. there's no more stop and frisk, stop, question and frisk. we've taken that away from the cops. and the criminals know it. the bad guys know it. judge: but when we did stop -- when we, listen to me, when you guys did stop and frisk in the

'80s and early '90s, i mean, crime was out of control. we don't have that right now. do you foresee us needing to do that going forward? i mean -- >> well, you know what? it's got to continue. you have got to do the programs and policies that worked. we reduced -- giuliani reduced crime 65%, violent crime, murder by 70, right? over that eight-year period. ray kelly and mike bloomberg carried that, carried that process on. all of a sudden that process has stopped. in addition to it stopping, you have a different culture now. you have mayors and governors that villainize the police. you have, you know, starbucks that basically insulting the cops -- insummits the cops. this isn't only in new york city, you know? we've handcuffed the mis-- judge: well, in new york they're shooting them from a couple years ago and thousanding water cans at them, and the police

aren't even responding. every time they turn around someone's suing them or accusing them -- >> listen, i will give credit to the new police commissioner shea, he is -- he was very vocal a few weeks ago. we're not going to tolerate people abusing the cops verbally, physically or otherwise. we're not going to take it. ing. judge: but what about this case in particular? i mean, there's nothing worse than the idea of bringing your daughter as a freshman to college and then having to come back to take her body home. i mean, there's nothing worse than that. beautiful college student stabbed to death. these three kids, 13 years old. do we know if they had a record? i mean, obviously -- >> yeah. they may have had a juvenile record. you're not going to know it. the 13-year-old, he could be charged with second-degree murder, weapons possession -- judge: right now it's at family court. do you think they'll move it as an adult? >> that's up to the d.a., but these days this d.a. and others around the country, you know, they're letting people out.

they're not prosecuting many cases. you know, in a case like this you don't know where it's going to go, but i would hope that the police commissioner and the police department, the detectives -- who are the best detectives in the world -- i would hope they pursue the most stringent elements of the law to prosecute. judge: all right. so thank you, commissioner kerick. i mean, the message is not just about this case, but about continuing the law enforcement efforts of the past to make sure that this kind of thing doesn't happen. >> that's right. judge: all right. former nypd commissioner, i want the kids' faces to light up when the big gift comes out.
